Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.

What happens if you search for wireless networks?

[sarahefc]

I get two networks that come up but the network i want to connect to dosnt connect it has limited or no connectivity with a full signal

[sarahefc]

am looking at the event viewer> system: could this error message be the problem

The Network Address Translator (NAT) was unable to request an operatiuon of the kernel-mode translation module. This may indiocate miconfiguration, insufficient resources or an internael error. the data is the error code.

Try disabling all encryption on the router and then connecting. This is likely an encryption key mismatch error.
